The C standard library function `perror` defines this to also print a textual description of `errno`. https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/perror so that won't work for the Windows APIs. I think the alternative would be to use `FormatMessage` on Windows. I didn't really think that much into this. Maybe it's clearer to use `fputs` with `stderr` here. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9599
